Lovely stay at the Abbey Inn!

Beautiful setting to stay in looking out onto the river! The staff were very friendly and helpful, the pub is stylishly decorated inside, the rooms were nice too. The food was the highlight! The steak pie and the beef burger were really good, and the full English breakfast delicious too! We will definitely be staying again.

Staff all friendly and bedroom overlooking the river was very nice. Bathroom could do with a bit of a refresh but all clean. Food was ok, with vegetarian options. Good for an 'overnighter'. We saw a Dipper on the river from the room (which was named 'Dipper'!)

Review from the window/clean room and the staff. I was not at all sure about the food which seemed to lack proper presentation and was not quite what you were expecting. We tried twice with the evening meal but looked elsewhere for the other two nights,

Lovely place to stay

Had a lovely few days at the Abbey Inn. Really friendly staff and a lovely room. Located next to an idyllic looking stream with a bar downstairs and great looking food. Breakfast was great, lots of choice and all well cooked. A few minutes walk from the beautiful Buckfast Abbey and a few minutes drive from the quaint shops in Buckfastleigh. Happy to recommend
